My personal favs..

"no pistons?!? How does it run?"

"why do you put oil in your gas?"

also- any time I hear someone talk about rods knocking or lifters tapping or valve timing camshaft issues i just laugh and walk away...
"camshafts? Pushrods? Valves? we still use those things??"

I also like telling people who tell me that rotaries are unreliable that
"well, at least I can't blow a head gasket and my valve covers will never leak"

This is a good one, especially when I pop up fashionably late at a friends house with a bunch of folks already there.

Friends-" You smell like gas"

Me- " Oh, it's my new cologne "Rotary"

Do a search for it. You can find a lot of information on it in the archives and FAQ's.

It's basically deleting your oil metering pump (OMP) for various reasons, and premixing 2-stroke oil in your gas to make up for not having an OMP.

yea that or you could just add a bit of the oil to your tank with the omp "just in case" after all it is about a 20 year old car, who knows how well the omp is still working

and if you dont know what an omp is, its kinda like injecting a bit of oil into the engine to keep everything lubricated, its the reason why our exhaust smells a bit like oil all the time
i like it, i think its cool telling people its ok when they ask why my exhasut smells like oil

i once got nice rexxy(wrx) and what kind of silver, (its white), the bitch was drunk, but she was standing next to a wrx wagon, lol

also got 'how do you live with the noise?' i replied 'how do live with the shitness of your car?'

my mates neighbour said i had a nice 180sx

i was at the autoshop a couple of months after i first got my car and asked the kid there if i should use a semi synth' oil or a full synthetic,(knowing full well that i shouldnt really use the fully synth)he replies "you should use the fully synthetic oil because it will keep your pistons and cams lubricated after you shut down"lol.
i just laughed at him and walked out.

i rocked up at a classic/ rod meet in my area, park and talk to my mate, these 2 older guys come over, sounding astonished, one says to the other "see i told you it was a mazda" looking at the decal on the back. lol

Haha, yeah like if your OMP was flat busted like mine lol

I've got a hole ripped in the Cat and mid pipe from what I think must've been a runaway semi bolt, so I get the "Your car is so F#@king loud!" all the time

I too where "Rotary" cologne, lol.

I called Autozone to see if they had some tranny mounts, and as I was telling the guy the year, make, model etc he asked if it was a coupe or vert. I said coupe, and he was like 'well of course since they never made a convertable one...'

And when I started the car at school Thursday, the kid next to me knocked on my window and was like 'uhh- your car just started smoking' and I replied 'yeah, it's all good' and backed out with a smile on my face .

i dont know if im just imagining things or maybe this has happened to other people. but whenever im on the highway in the fast lane at night people always move to the right to let me pass and then go back like i was a cop or something.....

now i dont know if its because of the profile of the headlights or what but, my car is just a factory blue FC with no outside mods. this hasnt just happened once or twice, its almost consistent.....on very few occasions will people not pull to the side.

has this happened to anybody else?

My ex-gf said my horn sounded girly. She went on to say that she was scared to ride in my car (it was on a spare tire so I was doing 55 on the freeway) and that it was a death trap.

A few days later we broke up.

So Sunday, I was following a friend with her parents back home. It was double laned, so I thought I'd have a little fun. I dropped it in 3rd and flew beside them, then let off the gas and all the sweet premix smoke poured out over everyone behind me. When we got to the light she was like 'You're gonna blow that up!" and I just laughed.

And when we were picking up my moms new-used Accord, the guy selling it was like "Nice Probe". I asked him what he said again, and he was like "Nice Ford Probe...?" like it was a question. I told him nah, it's a Mazda RX-7 and he was like ''ooh'', followed by the big akward silence...

i asked the cop why he pulled me over, and he says he's going to write me a ticket for speeding

so I figure, TECHNICALLY i was speeding (40mph on a 25), therefore i didn't show much resistance to accepting the ticket (plus i didn't want him to "pop" me for anything else)...

and before he let's me go, he literally says "Not bad restoring the RX7... you know, the NEW RX7's are BAD ***!" already upset by receiving the ticket, all I said was "I know huh?"...

I drove off pounding away on my steering wheel thinking WTF MAN!!? "New RX7" MY ***! What a "copper"... trying to be a nice n all... if you wanna be nice, don't write me the ticket ******!! n:

there goes $150+ out the window... THAT and a trip to TRAFFIC SCHOOL
I wish that were all I had to pay...

You know how sometimes you get the urge to see just how fast your car will go? I just had gotten new Falken Ziex's and I got that urge. It hit about 125 and put it in Neutral, just coasting. About 10 seconds later, I get clocked going 116 in a 65. Of course I got the ticket, along with reckless driving. Now I've got a $1000 lawyer and no telling how much in fines and bull when I go to court... stupid stupid Brett.

i go to UTI, say what you want about the place, but i was talking to an instructor about my rx and he was like, "i call them things RX-plodes, they only last 60,000 miles" i proceded to tell him mine had 97,000 before it blew because of revving way pat redline on a cold engine, my dad did it, not me. He told me that i was lying because mazda tech's tell him that rotarys are only good for 60k. i couldn't believe that an instructor would be so close minded. and of course he's a honda lover, that made it that much better.

Yes, actually, I've noticed this, too. It's really nice though, I'm sick and tired of people just dicking around in the fast lane when they've got plenty of space to get into the slow lane, let a few cars or just me pass, then get back in to keep passing people themselves, but no, they insist on being retarded... But yeah at night that seems to change.
